THE sudden death of Charles Koh-
Ter, of the firm of Kohler q Frohling,
in San Francisco yesterday, is a loss
which will be felt by the whole State.
Amongst the very earliest to realize
the great prospective value of the wine
interests of California, he established
his celebrated house in San Francisco
about 1860, At that time the firm de-
pended almost entirely for the juice
Of the grape upon Los Angeles
vineyards, and they soon be-
came the owners of the large
one on East Eighth street in this
city, and then set up an ex-
tensive winery, which they still own,
and which has been enlarged and
improved. Afterwards they became
ready purchasers of wines from all
the grape-producing parts Of the
State, and their house is now amongst
the largest in California. They have
done much to preserve the purity of
our wines and to introduce them
to the people of the East. Mr..
Kohler was a man OF broad intel
ligence, of fine business capacity, of
great personal magnetism, and pos
sessed of a keen and penetrating
Judgment in public matters. In all
the walks of life he was an exemplary
citizen, and will be deeply mourned
by friends endeared to him by his
kind and noble qualities.

The five States of Guatemala, San
Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica form the subject of Hubert
Howe Bancroft's third volume of the
"History of Central America" The
period included extends from 1901 to
1887. In addition, the volume con-
tains the history of Panama for the
same space of time. AS all that
most people know of Central
America is composed of de-
tached fragments brought every
now and then by newspapers,
continuous narrative will prove very
acceptable. In this volume the au-
thor does not confine himself to the
history proper, but presents the coun-
try to us from other standpoints as
we'll. We find information about mill
itary and judicial institutions, the So
cial conditions of the inhabitants, the
state of intellectual progress and COM
merce. Also geographical descrip-
tion of the country.
1t is instructive to follow the ex-
periences of a people whose chief aim
since the beginning of the century
was to model their policy upon the
example of the United States. They
formed the Estados Unidos del Centre
de America. In 1889 the federation
was dissolved, and thenceforward
they made various efforts at recon
struction, but, unlike the United
States, they failed. The last attempt
OF Barrios, President of Guatemala,
and it's failure OH the battle
field, where Barrios himself was
killed, are yet fresh in the memory
OF the reader. On the whole, the ex-
pertinent of initiating our own insiitu-
tions has not been a success yet; but,
as the historian says, "When we first
gain our liberty, we know not what
to do with it. We feel lost without
the harness, the reins, the whip and
the spur" The five republics are
now in a much better condition than
ever before and their prospects are
less gloomy than they were for many
generations.
In the concluding chapter, Mr..
Bancroft gives complete record OF
the different projects to connect the
two oceans. Commencing with the
Tehuanhepec scheme OF James B.
Eads, he follows the coast southwark
and closes with the Panama canal,
now being constructed by that grand
old Frenchman, the Count de
Lesseps.

SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS.

Hon. Ira q. Hoitt, State Superinten

superintendent of State Printing Ayers,
left sufficient number of books to meet
the demand of the schools for the next
year. Before the expiration of his term
he finished l40, 200 copies Of the Readers

les of the First Reader, $4,000 copies of
the Second, and 25, 900 copies of the Third.
These are all the books of this series
that will be needed for the present

"Yes, but it took a year to get these
books out, and it would seem to be the
part of wisdom to work the presses on
the sheets that will be required for next
year."
"The Board think that the supply

has narrowed down it's choice of Histo.
es to two authors who have sent in
samples of their method of treatment,
and it is very likely that at their next
meeting they will make their award,
when the successful compiler will be
ordered to send in his copy. In few
months, probably, that book will be
ready for distributing, when we will
take up other works aud progress with
them as rapidly as possible. The main
trouble arises from the fact that the
Readers being ready for distribution
there has been Stacking of the work
in the bindery, and the employees have
been disposed to blame the Board for
not going along fast enough with the
books to keep them constantly en-
ployed."

you are making mistake iu letting the

yourselves of the time to print sheets |

FARM NOTES.

Argentine Republic is an immense
country, having much the same kinds of
soil with similar climatic features) as
the Mississippi valley. For years enor-
nous herds of cattle and horses have
ranged its boundless plains. The cattle
are of very inferior class, much like our
common Texans. Considerable interest
has been shown lately by the Dons in
grading up with the improevd breeds.
Several shipments of bulls to Buenos
Ayres have been made by our western
breeders, ana agents are in this country
buying well bred horses for exportation
No farmer in Dakota can afford to run
his farm without owning at least % sheep.
They will not cost to exceed 81 per an
mum. They will return $50 per head in
wool. They will net $3.50 per head in in
crease, thus leaving so far net profit of
So per head. Then again % sheep will
keep 100 acre farm free from wild buck
wheat, thing that cannot be done in
any other way except by an immense
amount of labor and quite an outlay of
money, thus directly increasing the crop
of wheat ten bushels per acre and pass
ing another large amount to their credit
There is no experiment to try. No place
in the world will sheep do better than
here. Farmers, mix your business, it will
pay you.-Central Dakota Pantagrarh.
Yet one more penalty falls on the head
of our northern agriculturists as an APP
propriate retrlbution for their foolish
tritiing with pluro-pneumonia and sug-
gested innoculation experiments. The
Highland and Agricultural Society find
themselves compelled at the last moment
to exclude cattle from their show at
Perth. This is due of course to the APP
pearance of the disease in that city
Nothing but a recurrence of such appear
ances can be expected when society of
such position and character is so far left
to itself as to call III question the pro-
priety of the only legal remedy for

Sowing Grass Sted.
American Agriculrurist.

In sowing grass and clover seeds an
even stand is desirable, and to secure
this, great care is to be taken in the SOW
ing. A very good practice is to make the
last narrowing with great care, evenly
and with the marks all parallel. Then
the sower can follow these marks, first
taking the edge OF the field and returning
six short PAGES distant from the first
course. Then returning on the second
course, and always sowing with the right
hand to the left. Six feet for each cast
is as much as can be taken with light
seed, as orchard grass, blue grass, redtop,
etc, and as much as should be taken with
timothy, and the quantity of seed taken
may be readily gagged to the width of
the cast. The cast is made with each
movement of the right foot. When the
wind is blowing, even slightly, the casts
should be made low, to avoid irregular
dropping of the seed, and when the light
seeds are sown it is easier to walk across
the harrow marks when the tracks made
are easily seen, and the wind may carry
the seed to one side, the sower may GO
out Of the straight track to accommodate
the wind, and on returning can easily dis
tinguish the foot marks of the previous
track in the soft soil.
The sowing should be done as soon as
the last narrowing is finished, when the
seed sinks in the loose soil, or Is covered
by the first shower. A smoothing plank
is good thing to cover seed with. il
may be or 10 feet long, and Is fitted
with a tongue and two stiff braces. The
tongue is fitted to the plank on the level.
so that when it is raised the front end of
the plank is elevated q little This pre-
vents the plank from gathering stones CT
seeds in front of il, and causes 1t to ride
over them. It leaves a smooth, even sur
face.

The Farmers Qrish) Gazette gives the
following different ways of treating balk Y
horses, which are recommended for trial:
First, pat the horse on the neck, ex-
anime him carefully, first one side, then
the other; if you can get him a handful
of grass, give it to him, and speak en-
couragingly to him. Their jump into
the wagon and give the word go, and he
viii generally obey. Second, taking the
horse out of the shafts and turning him
around in a circle until he is dizzy, will
generally start him. Third, another way
to cure a balky horse is, place your hand
over his nose and shut off his wind until
he wants to go. Fourth, then again, take
a couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the fOrelegs, just below the knees, tight
enough for the horse to feel it; tie in a
bow knot. At the the first click he will
probably go dancing off. After going a
short distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the ten
dous. Fifth, again, you can try the fol
lowing: Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs and tie it by cord
to the saddle girth. Sixth the last rem
edy know of is as follows: Tie string
around the horses ear close to his head.
This will divert his attention and start
him.

How to Grow Celery.

For the lack of proper knowledge of
the nature and habits of celery, most of
our farmers, after repeated attempts,
have abandoned all efforts toward raising
plants or growing it. Almost any farmer
who takes pride in supplying his table
with seasonabie vegetables will tell you
that he has tried to raise plants and has
failed, and has purchased plants and set
them, but they had no luck" for they
all burned out. Certainly they did, for
they demand both GOODNESS and moisture
and got neither. Now, had the intending
growers, having made their ground both
rich and deep, scooped out a trench or
3 inches in depth and set their plants in
it inches apart; given the ground around
them a slight mulch; laid Stats across the
trench upon which to lay 6-Inch- wide
row of boards, slabs, anything to keep
the burning midsummer sun off the
plants from 10 .. M, till p. M, (this
vertical covering may be removed as soon
as the plants commence to grow; mean
while keeping the ground continually
moist they would have been gladdened by
the sight of such punches at the end of
the season as are seldom seen off the
exhibition table simply because they had
moderated the ding elements and
given the plants chance to make them
selves at home"

worthy housewife residing in the sub

claimed, "would you believe it, Mrs.
Donovan, paid dollar and fifty cents

FARM NOTES

new, cheap and effective insect killer
is composed of one part muriate of pot
ash in 1000 parts of water.
The man who warns himself up every
morning grooming his horses will be re-
munerated for his trouble.
There is no one thing that is so much
required nowadays on the average farm
as to thoroughly systemic labor.
Sluggish horses are generally made so
by the way they are handled A lazy man
is pretty sure to have lazy horses.
Grade cattle, the product of polIed
bulls-whether Aberdeen-Angus, Gallo
way or Norfolk-seldom or never have
horns.
Not every farmer can breed such COWS
as were shown at the New York dairy
show, but he can initiate and can use the
best bulls 10 be found.
Authorities differ as to the best time to
cut hay. As rule, farmers wait too long
| before cutting, and to strike it just right
requires judgment and experience.
Save the wood ashes to use as fertil-
izer. 1t is more profitable than to sell
them to the soapmakers. Wood ashes
never come Gmiss on the farm or in the
garden.
There are evidently many people not
| frightened by the cry of over reproduction
| in fruit growing, for a single dealer in
| Ulster County, N. Y, is reportad to have
| sold $4,000 grape vines this spring.
Carrots are said to be excellent food
| for horses, giving a sleek, oily appearance
| to their hair. As from 500 to 1000 bush
els may be raised 20 the acre on good
land we think they might be made profit
| able for home use.
Experience teaches that the earlier in
an animals age full feeding is re5orted
to the better it is, both for its vigorous
health and rapid growth. Thus will the
best returns be secured, whether the
animal be intended for early sale or for
| raising.
Farmers would find it to their advan-
| tage to corn mutton in a weak brine for
home consumption. The hams can be
smoked and used like dried beef, or they
can be boiled. The corned mutton will
be found an agreeable change from sau-
sage and spare-rib.
Save all the manure. quarter of a
century ago many Western farmers
| dumped their manure into the rivers, not
| supposing that manure or fertilizers
would ever be required, but the question
of fertilizers is now being discussed as
well as the best methods of restoring
fertility.
German millet, sown and lightly har-
rowed in the proportion of one bushel of
seed per acre, makes an excellent crop
for summer. But it nust be cut as soon
as it shall be in blossom, for if allowed
to 1ipen its seed it will become hard and
woody. On good, well-manured land it
should produce two tons of hay per acre.
